Lyrics
The A/C unit on Nostrand Ave still hums your favorite key.
This Tuesday feels like every August, a low-grade memory.
I found that cedar box we built, the joinery's come loose.
Are you the box, or just the splinters I can't bear to lose?
[Chorus]
Annelise, tell me it's not a crime
If your face gets sanded smooth by time.
Does a memory die from pure neglect?
Is it murder if I blíyé? If I forget?
[Verse 2]
My mother's epis in the air, a scent you used to know.
I trace your name on dusty glass where we watched the traffic flow.
These tangled threads of who we were, I try to pull them straight,
But every year I pull one less, is that our final fate?
[Chorus]
Annelise, tell me it's not a crime
If your face gets sanded smooth by time.
Does a memory die from pure neglect?
Is it murder if I blíyé? If I forget?
[Bridge]
"It's built against the grain," you said, your finger on the wood.
You meant the box, but now I know you meant us, and I understood.
[Chorus]
Annelise, tell me it's not a crime
If your face gets sanded smooth by time.
Does a memory die from pure neglect?
Is it murder if I blíyé? If I forget?
(False Ending)
[Coda]
Just a splinter in my thumb...
Still here.
